Read the excerpt from Act II of Hamlet.Guildenstern: Happy in that we are not over happy; On Fortune’s cap we are not the very button.Hamlet: Nor the soles of her shoe?Rosencrantz: Neither, my lord.

“Fortune” refers to luck or success, and “Fortune’s cap” suggests the height of good fortune. Guildenstern says they are not at the very top of it, meaning they are not especially prosperous. “Prosperity” best matches that meaning; “fashion” and “footwear” refer only to literal clothing, while “delight” does not fit the reference to Fortune.
